Ah, Charles Hoskinson. The man who’s been at the center of every crypto squabble you can imagine is now suddenly the peacekeeper. At Consensus 2025 in Toronto (yes, Toronto, where crypto dreams come true), he unveiled his big plan for the Glacier Drop—an airdrop that will blanket 37 million wallets across a whopping 8 blockchains. And guess what? No VCs involved! It’s not every day you hear about an airdrop that won’t end up in the pockets of the usual suspects.
Cardano founder unveils details on Midnight airdrop
At Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson unveiled fresh details about Glacier Drop, the upcoming airdrop for Midnight, Cardano’s privacy-focused sidechain, according to CoinDesk.

No VCs, Just the People
Hold your horses—this airdrop isn’t your usual “who’s got the fattest VC wallet” contest. Hoskinson has made it abundantly clear: no venture capital firms will see a single token of Midnight’s new shiny currencies. Instead, the spotlight is on the everyday crypto enthusiast. Yes, folks, it’s the retail users’ time to shine. The tokens—NIGHT and DUST (fitting names, right?)—will be given to people who, you know, actually use crypto, not those who just show up with a briefcase full of cash.
Cross-Chain, No Drama
So what’s the big deal with Midnight, besides the fact that it’s the anti-VC revolution in crypto? Well, Midnight isn’t just about keeping secrets (though, let’s be real, who doesn’t love privacy?). It’s about building bridges across blockchain ecosystems. Developers can now work together without worrying about which token they’re using. Got BTC? Great. ETH? No problem. You can pay your fees in whatever you fancy, and validators from any blockchain can still cash in on rewards. It’s like a big crypto potluck where everyone brings their own tokens—and there’s no drama about who brought the fancy dessert.
Airdrop with a Message
Hoskinson, apparently not a fan of VC hype, said he turned down offers faster than a crypto whale can panic-sell. For him, this isn’t just about handing out free tokens (though, who doesn’t love free stuff?). It’s about creating a more inclusive crypto world, where people stop bickering about which blockchain is the “best” and start, you know, actually building something together. Midnight is still in testnet (yes, it’s not even fully live yet), but the message couldn’t be clearer: let’s cut the tribalism and start collaborating. And, no, he didn’t drop that gem in a tweet; he said it in person. Fancy that.
“This is the project I’m having the most fun with,” he said. “It’s where I get to be friends with everybody.”
